Sam's POV (Saturday)
When I woke up, knew today was the day. Right now, I was Sam Potter, a boy in Fredichini's Spanish class, but tonight I was going to be Sam Puckett, romancer extraordinaire
I turned over, and untangled my arms from my side and looked at the clock on the wall. 12:20 AM. Wow, early for a change, I chuckled to my self. I put on the robe Freddie must have put on the bed, and went to the kitchen to eat.
"Hey Fredward, what for breakfast?" I asked, lounging on the couch while trying, but failing, to keep my eyes open.
"Well there—"
RING. RING. RING. RING.
I reached over and picked up the phone.
"Hullo?"
Umm… ya, hi. Is Freddie there? I need to speak to him.
I froze. That was Carly calling for Freddie, like he predicted yesterday. I gave a panicked look to Freddie, and just shrugged me off. Try to sound smart, Puckett, come one!
"Uh, yeah. One second please. I will go and get him for you."
Thanks.
I blew out a sigh of relief, signaled Freddie to pick up the phone.
Sam, get off the phone, there's cereal in the cupboard beside the fridge.
I nodded my head, as I hung up the phone and went to the cupboard. It was all healthy stuff, but I ate it anyways.
The rest of the day went by really slowly. Just before Freddie left, I remembered that Freddie's Mom was a nurse.
"Hey Freddie? Does your Mom have any of those tensor bandages here?" I asked.
"Yupp, somewhere in the drawer in the bathroom I think, why do you ask?" he said, giving me his confused look.
"No reason," I said innocently.
"Okay," he said hesitantly, but believed me anyways. He left about 5 minutes later, and I jumped up to run to the bathroom. Just like her predicted there were four or five tensor bandages in the drawer under the sink. I grabbed two, just in case, and ran back to the guest room. Now I had everything. Tuxedo? Check. Bandages? Check. Courage? How about a rain check? We'll see if that's there later, when it counts.
I used the bandages around my chest, that way no one would know I wasn't a boy. It felt really weird, and I couldn't breath properly, but it would be worth it in the end.
I tried to put on the tux like Freddie showed me yesterday, but it was hard. It took me almost twenty minutes to get all the little buttons on the vest done up. And the bow tie? I was lucky to have remembered it went around my neck. I had the shoes one, and my jacket on, when I heard the front door open. I got my Potter voice ready.
"Mrs. Benson? Is that you?" I called, praying to god that it wasn't.
"Sam, relax, it's me. I just wanted to see you before we leave."
I walked out of the bedroom, and out into the living room. Freddie's eyes were dancing, staring at the closed door.
"Hey Fredweiro? You okay or what?" I asked, hoping he wasn't ogling at my Carly.
"What? Yeah, I'm okay. Just…daydreaming is all," he said turning around, when he screamed just how I thought he would… like a girl.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?!?!?!" he screamed at me as he grabbed the umbrella from the coat hanger.
I put my hands on my hips. "Really Fredichini? You wanna go there now?" I said.
"Sam?" he asked, totally blow away that I looked this much like a boy. "In the flesh," I smirked.
He looked at me up and down, and circled me.
"How? What? But what about your—you know," he stuttered, holding his hands to his chest. I laughed.
"Freddie, what on earth did you think the tensor bandages were for?" I asked, still laughing. He scowled at me.
"Fine, I just thought you'd want to know that Carly is wearing gold. Maybe you could go by Thrifty's and see if they have a golden bow tie or a gold mask or something."
"Number one, I knew she was wearing gold. I was the first one to see her in her dress. That's when I knew I had to get to the dance. Number 2- I already have a mask, and it has gold on it, and I don't really have time to ask Bill for another favour. The Puckett charm can only last for so long," I said with sarcasm.
"I have one if you want," he admitted.
"Really? Well why didn't you say so Freddork! Let's see it then."
He led me to his room, where he went to his closet. He was searching for about 5 minutes until he found what he was looking for. It was a clip in bow tie, one that went all the way around your neck to that it looks authentic. And as a bonus, it was gold.
"Thanks Freddie," I said, actually surprised he was helping me. I had to know why.
"Why are you helping me Freddie? I thought you loved Carly," I asked.
He sighed. "She's more like a sister to me Sam, I could never love her like that, but you can. I know she likes you back, I just know it."
"Really? You really think so?" I asked, expectantly. I was so excited! My Carly loves me back! I can't believe it!
"Okay, go Freddie… make sure Carly doesn't know that I'm coming okay?" I said, pushing him towards the door.
"Make sure she doesn't know!" I yelled as shoved him out the door.
I ran to the bathroom, and tried to style my hair, or what was left of it. Then I grabbed my mask from my bag, and ran out the door, but not before I grabbed twenty dollars from Freddie's wallet.
I hailed a cab, and told the cab to step on it to Ridgeway High.
When I got there, I was so nervous. I straightened my tie, adjusted my mask, smoothed my hair, and walked towards the front doors of the school.
Okay guys, next chapter's up… I'll be posting pictures of the outfits, or the part, on my profile page… so come and check them out… PLEASE REVIEW!!!
